Although the sun has disappeared now and the temperatures have drastically dropped to 10C and rain, I'm positive thinking the summer will return. Someday. Soon. Hopefully. So I made another outfit for Leoni from the Farbenmix LORE top and shorts from a Japanese pattern book.

I've been working on some loop scarfs - they are quick and easy to make and don't require huge amounts of fabric. You can combine as many different fabrics as you like, from a single coloured to a patchwork scarf, cotton or jersey fabric, whatever you've got in your stash. They certainly brighten up your wardrobe!

...Leoni got very creative: she had her first proper attempt at sewing. She wanted to make a scarf, she chose the fabrics herself and nearly did it all by herself, really, I only helped a little bit with measuring and a bit handsewing at the end. She cut it all out, pinned it and sewed it together. And then she made a hair scrunchy afterwards (again with only a little help). She is so proud of her first projects that she wore them to school this morning :-) Needless to say that I'm dead proud of her, too!

Despite the cold and wet weather outside, Leoni needs some summer clothes. Her favourite thing at the moment are shorts so I made her a pair for the hot days that are hopefully to come at some point!? The pattern is from the latest OTTOBREmagazine and I've enlarged it to a size 134 (it only goes up to 122 in the book), and the shirt is ANTONIA from Farbenmix.
